The city side displayed impressive powers of recovery by winning 3-0 at Newcastle Town last weekend (September 23), just seven days after a humbling, club record 9-1 defeat at the hands of Stocksbridge Park Steels.

Stamford host Newcastle tomorrow, when Spalding United travel to lowly Market Drayton.
